An exchange very truthfully says now that "grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front," econ? omy and self-denial, it seems, are "in the deep bosom of the ocean buried," home-made clothing and meal-bran coffee have gone "up a spout," and most persons who have the where? with, think that the chief good is to eat, drink and be merry, and let old debts and the future take care of themselves. Since 1(300, Austria bas spent 160 years in thirty-one different wars, ten of which were waged with France, six with Turkey, five with Prussia, four with Spain, one with Holland, one with Denmark, and four were relative to thc succession. One war lasted thirty years, one six? teen, one fourteen, one thirteen, one nine, and three eight, while the others were from a few months to six years. JrsT So.-An editor, speaking of' the complaints of his readers, that he didn' ; publish all the local items they desire to seo, justly observes, that it is often their fault in not sending in the facts. He says he don't like to publish a birth after the child is weaned, a marriage after the honey? moon is over, or the death of a man after his widow is married. FARMER WANTED.
